Hello lovelies! As you can see from the title, my little blog turns two today, this blogging year has flown by, it doesn't seem long ago that I was writing a post about my blog turning one. Over the year I feel I've progressed so much, my blog design mostly! My posts (or lack of!) on the other hand haven't been great, I just haven't had time to blog recently but soon enough I'll be up and running again!

I would love to be spending my day writing posts for you all but instead, I'm doing a 10-5 shift at work instead, boo!

As a little treat for all my lovely followers, I shall be holding a giveaway as soon as I've been paid! I am so thankful for all the my followers who have stuck around over these 2 years, I adore all you! ♥

Hopefully over next couple of months I will be sharing many more posts with you, I'd love to post more OOTD's now the weather is nice! I'll hopefully be posting more baking post with you all.

Hello my loves! My life lately hasn't been great, hence my lack of posts recently (except the odd few I'd scheduled in advance) I won't go into too much detail as I don't really want to post it here yet but motivational quotes have been a great help recently!

As cheesy as that sounds they have, I know that its not just me they have helped so heres a few to help you, whether you have the monday blues, you're having a crappy day work, you have a problem you need with or you just need something to put a spring back in your step.

As you can see, I turned to most motivational place on the internet, Pinterest!

Recently I have need something or someone just to just tell me that things will be okay and the quote above fits perfectly for that, its so simple but it does the job so well.

I know this post has been quite short and sweet but I hope that this post has helped any of you that needed something to brighten your day! Feel free to share any quotes that help you below, I'd love to hear some of your favourites.

Hello my loves! If you've read my blog for a while you'll know I love candles! Yankee and Village especially, all I seem to be drawn to are the food and fruit scents - I've smelt all the scents above and I can't get enough! I've used a Bahama Breeze sampler and its been a firm favourite for a while. I've also been very tempted by Black Coconut as it's Yankee's fragrance of the month along with white gardenia.

The Lampshade and plate are such a bargain! I've only ever seen them over £20 but I luckily found them on eBay for £14.99! I think that midnight would be perfect with the decor in our little flat which is neutrals and Black. You can see more in my candle wishlist on my pinterest here.

What's your favourite candle? Have you ever tried any of the products above?
